One Yuan Canteen, weekend extra meals, buffets, university canteen… It turns out that the elders canteen has so many new “flowers”. At present, there are 958 elderly canteens in Guangzhou, covering almost 100% of the entire city’s communities. Every day, many elderly people are active in the canteens for different elders. The price reduction is not reduced, which gives them more sense of reality. The innovative methods also give them a lot of freshness.

The best buffet for elders canteens is not that it will not hinder “satisfaction”. Since this year, many elders canteens in Guangzhou have made new ideas and launched many innovative services. The most eye-catching buffet for elders canteens in Baiyun District is the buffet at the elders canteen. Since May this year Komiks, the Tongde Social Work Service in Baiyun District has launched a vegetarian buffet experience activity in one of the elders’ canteens, and the effect is quite good.
Hundreds of private Cantonese cuisine and dim sum are added to the Elderly Canteen, making the vegetarian buffet both novel and healthy. In terms of price, it has been reduced from the original 20 yuan per 1 to 12 yuan per 1. It is reported that for elderly people with limited mobility, volunteers will also be organized to provide loving home services. “It turns out that the buffets that young people like are like are like this. They are all fresh and each needs are needed. They are frugal.” An old man said.

However, not every elderly canteen on Tongde Street currently has a buffet. There is no other elder in the canteen hosted by Tongde Social Work Service Co., Ltd., but the rich dishes and monthly menu also praise the elders.
At around 11 noon on the 7th, several elderly people over 60 came to the elders’ canteen on Tongde Street. Some of them read newspapers, some chatted, and everyone was waiting for lunch. At 11:30, with the sound of “Food is here!” A red insulated box was carried in, and the volunteers took away the meal that was about to be delivered to their door. The gray-haired elder followed the volunteer to pick up the meal. Aunt Li from the social work service club took the meal tickets from the old neighbors while carefully taking notes on the table.

There were not many elderly people eating on site, there were only two that day. Aunt Li said that in the past, there were about 4-5 elders eating on the spot. Most elders choose to take them home. “It’s better to have a buffet, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. The food here is different every day. Today is fried with chicken with ginger and scallions and shredded pork with black fungus beans. It’s delicious!” Mr. Yang was satisfied with the meal.

Meals are reduced in price and food without quality. Cinema Some do not have household registration restrictions
The elders’ canteen in Lingnan Street, Liwan District was officially opened in October last year. “Starting from July 23 this year, due to the corresponding subsidies provided by the streets, different categories of elderly people will have different degrees of price reductions, while the “three-no staff” will be reduced to a minimum of 1 yuan per meal.” said Ge Fangfang, the canteen manager.

She also said that in the Cinema Elderly Canteen, they will adjust the taste of the meal according to the different needs of the elderly, such as white rice, one is soft and the other is hard, suitable for different elderly people. “The social workers here are very familiar with the elderly. As long as they meet the elderly, they know what kind of food they like to eat, and which ones they are afraid of.” She said: “As for whether the 1 yuan meal is of quality assurance, that is of course. As far as I have seen with my own eyes, fresh meat and Babaylan dishes will be transported from the vegetable market at around 8 o’clock every morning. Each one is in compliance with the standards and will be accompanied by invoices and other credentials.”

Aunt Liu, a social worker in the Elderly Canteen, said: “At present, in our Elderly Canteen, there are three elderly people who deliver meals to their homes and enjoy one-yuan dining benefits.” Grandpa Zhang, who enjoys one-yuan dining, comes to eat every Monday to Friday. “I was very happy when I heard that I had a one dollar for lunch. It was very good for my living conditions. The food here was also delicious and I was very satisfied.”
Good meals for Grandpa Zhang who dined for one yuan
It is understood that after adjustment, as long as people with a household registration in Guangzhou who are 60 years old or above, regardless of whether they are in Lingnan Street or not, they can apply for Lingnan Street Elderly Canteen and enjoy discounts.
In addition to Lingnan Street, from August 1, 92 elderly canteens in the whole city will be uniformly adjusted. After the price adjustment, the first, second and third categories of Zengcheng Elderly Canteens will be self-regulated. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komikspayment fees are 1 yuan, 3 yuan and 5 yuan respectively, both down 1 yuan from the previous period; elderly people with household registration in Zengcheng have paid 6 yuan, down 3 yuan from the previous period.

The elders canteen is also located in college canteens. At the Green Rongyuan Canteen of South China Agricultural University, faculty, staff, students and elders can dine together in the canteen, which can be said to be more “youthful” than other elders canteens.
Before the canteen of South China Agricultural University
Before entering the canteenBabaylan, the reporter saw the sign of the “Cinema” in the campus passage. In the canteen, a special window for the love lunch of retired teachers and workers in China Agriculture and a service window for the love lunch of the elderly is specially set up, with rich dishes. “I live nearby and come here often to eat, which is mainly very convenient. I think it is good to have such a love window for the elderly to eat for the elderly. “Uncle Chen, a retired teacher from Huanong, said happily.
According to reports, when elderly people aged 70 and above who meet the government subsidy conditions and elderly people with special difficulties who meet the government subsidy in Wushan Street spend in the canteen, the government will give each person a subsidy of 6 yuan per meal. Elders who meet the conditions can apply for a registration card in the community, and they can go to the canteen with this card.href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaLunch. “Every lunch time, about 800-1,000 elderly people come here to spend, and the number of people can be said to be very large.”
Why would the canteen of South China Agricultural University open a service window for elderly people in colleges and universities? The canteen manager said: “In addition to meeting the basic requirements of our school, Hua Agricultural University can withdraw some extra resources to serve the elderly. This is also a resource sharing, helping the community share the pressure; at the same time, it also gives love and helps some elderly people.” However, due to the limited venue and manpower, the number of elderly people who go to the canteen to have meals, which has caused some complaints between faculty and staff. He hopes both sides understand more.
At present, the canteen of the Guangdong Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau also has a “Love Dining Window for Elderly” jointly built with the streets to provide more convenience for the elderly. In addition, some restaurants have begun to become elders’ canteens. For example, Taihe Town, Baiyun District, has started to cooperate with Volkswagen Restaurants at the end of February this year, making it one of the town’s community home-based elderly care meals.
Mentality: Is it rude to eat at the elders’ canteen?
Some elders believe that the elder canteen is a place where only the elderly who are not cared for will go. Such institutions are similar to rescue stations or shelters. It is very rude and even embarrassing to eat at the elder canteen. The reporter found that this was not the case when he visited. CinemaFirst of all, the hardware and software are more particular, and secondly, the view from the canteen is a happy scene of chatting and eating.
Shegong Liu said that they had conducted a survey and the elderly who went to the elders’ canteen for dining mainly for lunch from January to Friday. During the rest of the time, most of the family members were responsible for catering. Not only will you not feel ashamed, but you will also eat with relish.
Grandpa Liu, who enjoys a 11 yuan meal, said: “I come here to eat every Monday to Friday, and I am very happy.” Grandma Cai, who enjoys a 7 yuan meal, said: “I have been eating since I opened up until now. The food environment here is very good, and the social workers here are also very familiar with me.” Grandpa Tang, who enjoys a 9 yuan meal, said: “The dishes prepared every day are different, and I like them very much.”
In addition, the elders’ canteen does indeed bring happiness to the old neighbors. Grandpa Zhang, who has a “one-yuan dining”, has a monthly retirement salary of 1,600 yuan. He is not only a “three-no-person”, but also a disabled and an elderly person with widows. He was unable to move and needed to use crutches, and the “one-yuan dining” really helped him. If he is not an elder, he needs to go to a far-reaching vegetable market to buy dishes for one person, or ask the neighbors to bring him some food along the way, and then cook small pot meals by himself
